Cholinergic Agonists Flashcards
1
Q
Where are the Nicotinic receptors located
A
On the ganglia of the parasympathetic nerve
2
Q
Where are the Muscarinic receptors located
A
On the effector organs of the parasympathetic system
3
Q
Where are adrenergic receptors located?
A
On the Effector organs of the sympathetic system
4
Q
Where is ACh synthesized?
A
In the mitochondria of neurons of the parasympathetic and sympathetic NS.
5
Q
where is ACh stored and released?
A
In quanta of the parasympathetic and sympathetic neurons
6
Q
What occurs after the action potential releases ACh?
A
The released ACh binds to muscarinic or nictonic acetylcholine receptors. ACh is then broken down in the synapse by the enzyme AChE
